About our grease trap cleaning in Hart Plain
Once a trap is full, grease passes straight through. Further down the pipe, the grease cools and hardens and the result is blocked drains and bad smells. Regular cleaning keeps it working. Typical jobs include a regular cleaning plan for the grease trap and an inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning, on inline grease traps, school and care home kitchens and restaurants and takeaways.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Hart Plain are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is usually the first sign.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How we price grease trap cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two in most kitchens, depending on the size and condition of the trap. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Hart Plain when you book.
- A visit is booked around your service.
- The trap is opened up and checked.
- Built-up grease and food waste are taken out.
- The inside, baffles and outlet are cleaned.
- The trap is closed, tested and the next clean discussed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease deep in the drains, which needs jetting by a drainage contractor
- A trap undersized for the amount of cooking
- Sewer problems outside the premises
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
- Don’t rely on hot water to clear grease
- Never pour used oil down the sink
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we leave.
An overfull trap lets grease pass. Regular emptying keeps it working and avoids a blockage.
FAQs for Hart Plain
Do you work overnight in Hart Plain?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Hart Plain doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you work in villages like Hart Plain?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hart Plain included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Do you take the waste away?
We remove all the waste we take out. It is not poured back down the drain, of course.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What’s the right interval for grease trap cleaning?
It varies with the trap and the kitchen. If the sinks start to drain slowly between cleans, it’s too long and we’ll adjust the schedule.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
